228 of 365

August 16th. Our wedding anniversary. What better way to spend it than taking The Children to a theme park?! Luckily they're not really into the big scary rides yet; the ones they can cope with, I can manage to accompany them on! The Doctor bravely volunteered to look after the bags and the camera.... Here you see me and The Children getting completely soaked on the log flume!

That night we went to the hotel pizzeria for our dinner. It would have been more romantic if The Children hadn't accompanied us, but the meal was lovely! I tried calzone for the first time :-) (In case you haven't come across it before, it's a folded pizza - a kind of cross between a pizza and a Cornish pasty!)

...is what I speak. It describes what I actually say (nonsense, mostly) and how I say it (ie my accent, which is a mixture of all sorts - a bit of North of England, a bit of Irish, a bit of South West England, a lot of just me!) The word comes from my name, Mel, and the fact that I'm one-quarter Welsh. But there's not actually any Welsh in my accent. Go figure...
